Behind the Brand
PENGWEN
Pengwen began as a simple idea - a fun hobby and a creative outlet. We wanted to make pieces that were comfortable and laid back - something we could enjoy designing and sharing with others. But, over time this project became something muc more. We found ourselves drawn deeper into the process, learning more about the craft, and really falling in love with every detail - from and feel of each item to the aesthetic we envisioned for the brand.
The Penguin Logo?
The name "pengwen" started with a spark of inspiration from something as simple as a name. One of our Founder's neighbours names was Gwen, and we knew we wanted to do something creative with it. After brainstorming, we landed on the name Pengwen - a playful twist on Gwen, and a name that felt fresh and full of character. The penguin logo? It's a natural fit.
What started as a name became a brand, and today pengwen stands for unique timeless designs that everyone can enjoy.
